Development of endolymph during maturation of the mammalian inner ear

A preliminary report

Archives of oto-rhino-laryngology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The development of the elemental composition in the endolymphatic space was investigated during embryologic and early post natal maturation of the CBA/CBA mouse. At birth the elemental distribution was similar in the endo- and perilymphatic spaces. Mature composition of endolymph was reached 6–8 days post partum. The maturation of endolymph corresponded well in time with the morphological maturation of the stria vascularis.
